Kuro is getting ready for school while KJ is just watching her run about the place.

"Why didn't you get a skirt? It would have looked cute," pestered Kuro mum.

"Don't girls in Japan only wear skirts to school?" asked KJ smiling at the look on Kuro's face.

"Boo hoo, I have to go to school now or I'll be late. Bye" and Kuro ran out the door.

Kuro arrived at her new school and went to her classroom. When the bell rung the sensei walked in and settled the class down

"All right class this is our new student. Please say your name to the class," said the sensei giving Kuro a slight smile.

"Kuro Raikou"

"She doesn't look like she should be in the ninth grade," said a student in the front of the class.

"That's because I am thirteen (A/N: Not anymore), but I unlike you are intelligent." remarked Kuro.

"Please socialize outside of class, for now, Kuro, let's find you a seat…hm… Ms. Yuki." said the sensei scanning the classroom.

"I WANT MY SPAGETTI! Oops sorry," said a girl with brown hair that was up in two buns. She was asleep so her head shot up when she heard her name.

"You can sit next to her," said the sensei.

"Joy," said Kuro sarcastically as she took a seat next to Miaka.

"Hi I'm Miaka Yuki, glad to meet to meet you, Kuro," said Miaka with an outstretched hand.

Oh god no she is perky like Umi.

"Yea whatever," said Kuro and she looked to the front where the sensei was.

"All right class we were just starting Mythology and today. I was going to assign you all with different mythology to do a report on. Now does anyone know any mythology from anywhere?" asked the sensei. Kuro raises her hand and everyone stares at her. "Yes Kuro?" said the sensei.

"Romans and Greeks had the same myths. The Greek's god Zeus, was the Roman god Jupiter. Athena for Greece, Minerva for Rome. The Egyptians had Ra as the sun god and believed in life after death. They had a book of the dead and built tombs for their emperors. The Inca believed that their emperors were the sons of their god Inti. And the Chinese believed in four gods to represent the elements. Seiryu of water, Genbu of air, Byakko of earth, and Suzaku of fire. But I don't much about them," said Kuro as everyone stared at her disbelieving.

She knows a lot for a thirteen year old. Thought Miaka.

"All true. So time for assigning, and Kuro since you said you didn't know much about the four gods of the Chinese you will be assigned to them," said the sensei.

Lunchtime…

Kuro is sitting by herself thinking about some random thing when Miaka walks up.

"Hey, do you want to eat with me and my friends?" she asked.

"Fine," said Kuro and she followed Miaka to the table she was sitting at.

"So you're from California?" asked Miaka.

"Yep," said Kuro.

"I heard you got everyone out in dodge ball even all of the toughest boys," said Fu one of Miaka's friends.

"That was way too easy," said Kuro with a shrug.

"I heard that you are only thirteen and solved every problem the sensei gave you." Said Morin, another of Miaka's friends.

"Those were easy too. Hey aren't you that flake that fell asleep in class and couldn't even solve the Pythagorean theory. Miaka right?" said Kuro.

"Yeah….hey do you want to come with us to the library after school. I can help you find a book for your project." suggested Miaka.

"Whatever," said Kuro as she stood up and started to walk away," see you, I have to go."
